Very nice knife work for sure! Not sure I like the cleaver for splitting it in half, but still a very good slaughter man!! The trailer with the lifts makes managing a large carcass pretty easy. Nice to have wash down water too! That looked like a nice beef carcass, very yellow fat, gonna be nice marbling! Moosin

Is he using a knife or a light saber!?!
Pretty impressive for sure! Gotta think theres some kind of special grind on those knives to move that fast with those long strokes on the hide without ever nicking the meat, or accidentally slicing a hole in the hide. Would be very interested to see how his skinner is profiled/ground

Wow, now that’s fast
Most fellas keep a 15 degree . They use smooth cut butcher steels on slaughter floors just to align the edge when it starts to turn over .They use air knives now along with mechanical hide pullers in the larger plants .Will post a link today of that process . I just thought showing the process would help new fellas out on how to skin game .

I think he showed me how to steel a knife ..Very light smooth strokes ..Great skinning ..Also rebuffs the opinions of never to use water on meat !....Dennis
Thought I would post this up again so any of you fellas that have not dressed out a moose may be able to get some ideas on how to go about it. I realize this is a beef carcass and conditions are different when in the field dressing out an animal but you may be able to pick up a few tips

He is so gentle when he sharpens his knife, almost in slow motion. Then switches to normal speed with the carcass...very cool.
